January 4, 2013: $100 Million "Smallville" Legal Battle Partly Settled

Smallville Back in March 2010, Tollin/Robbins Productions filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. seeking over $100 million in damages, claiming that Warner Bros. had cheated the creators and executive producers of the TV series "Smallville" through sweetheart license-fee deals that the studio made with its sister TV networks.

Earlier this week that Production company dropped its lawsuit, as Warner Bros. settled the matter out of court.

    On Wednesday, Tollin/Robbins Productions submitted papers in Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss its claims. A Warner Bros. spokesperson confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that the dispute with the production company has been resolved. Part of the case from Killara Productions, run by Smallville co-developer Miles Millar and Leonardtown Productions and operated by Alfred Gough, will continue.
